questionable " RMC "

[FTD1167]

Look at recess around left locking lug, I don't know of any USGI receivers
with that machine work. I know that band is A-O from new stock, and won't fit GI. Buttplate looks smooth like Alpine. Iver Johnson HG had huge rivets like that.
Any body know who made the Receiver? "Rock Island"

Actually, I think the early RMC in the sling bevel is about the only thing that is correct! Yes, I said correct. Some early RMC made stocks had those larger letters.

Ok, I guess my bid goes down to $ 1.98 cents .... I dropped it a penny from Bill's advice....

questionable " RMC "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
is this a real "R M C " stamped in the sling well?

Looks likes there is RMC stamped in the slingwell with a possible flaming bomb above the M.

Real......no.
Early handguards have the stacked RMC letters stamped seperately, but they're a different size and style.
There's no sign of the drilled thru hole for the buttplate screw in the bottom of the slingwell.
The small repro CC looks like the Springfield Armory stamps and it's been applied over a finished stock very recently.

The oiler slot gives the stock away also...
The I cut has the the top and bottom recess cut.
On 2 original I cut RMC stocks I have here, neither show recess cuts.

I see this is a consignment sale. It appears the 'seller' didn't go out of his way to document anything in his pictures.
Anyone sure it's a USGI?
Barrel....Rock-Ola?

Rule of thumb, bad pictures along with none showing the vitals = turn the page to the next item.
If you have the time stroll thru some of their other carbine auctions and see if you can keep count on the fake barrel bands and swivels, cut down barrel bands, fake flip sights, fake flips with the leafs installed backwards, no rear sights, import marked barrels not mentioned, missing buttplates, ....etc
